I'm fairly certain it's been years since I started Christmas presents in July. When the grandkids were young, Christmas was so much fun. I liked Christmas so much that I even listened to carols in July.
Nearly everyone has everything they need but I thought of a few sewn things I would like to gift this year. So far, I have mostly just ordered supplies and I'll share finished items as they happen.
Last Christmas I gave mother a table top holder and a wide variety of small hangings to put on it. This is one of her favorite things this year and she loves changing the hangings (I made more than one for most months).
I also want to make a lap quilt for my brother Jim. He's the brother who lost his wife last year and then got very sick. Anyway, he deserves another quilt. The one I want to make this year is sports themed (the other I had made for him and Janet; it featured flowers). Some of Jim's sports fabrics just arrived:
How do you feel about sewing for the holidays in July?
Have a safe and happy day!
I love your plans! We don't do a lot of giving at Christmas, so I don't generally make big plans. I did more of that when I was younger, but some years I do ornaments for everyone. Maybe this will be one of those years.
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were young I started sewing for Christmas the first of September. I would make a sign that said "Santa's Workshop" on it and post it on my bedroom door. That meant don't come in without permission. Those were fun days.
